This squirrel recipe was a favorite of my son's when he was small. He had seen a TV show where they were having cinnamon chicken - he loved cinnamon - he wanted cinnamon chicken - I didn't have any chicken at the time but I had a freezer full of squirrels so I came up with this Cinnamon Squirrel recipe. Hope you like it - the squirrels are cut into quarters for this wild game recipe and is broiled.
Cinnamon Squirrel
2 1/2 pounds squirrel, cut up
1 t onion salt (optional)
1/4 C butter
1 C apple juice
4 T honey
1 t cinnamon
Mix onion salt, apple juice, honey and cinnamon over low heat until mixed well. Place cut-up squirrel in a dish and pour mixture over it. Cover tightly and allow to marinade at least two hours.
Remove squirrel from dish and place in broiler pan, cut side up. Brush with half the melted butter. Broil 6 to 7 inches from heat source. Add the remaining butter to the marinading mixture, use this sauce to baste squirrel. Baste and turn every 10 minutes. Sprinkle lightly with more cinnamon after 20 minutes, then baste and turn every 10 minutes till done.
Depending on the size of squirrels used and whether the squirrels are cut into quarters of halves, the cooking time will vary from approximately 30 minutes to 40 minutes.
Serving Suggestions:
Cinnamon squirrel goes great with most any side dishes. It is a sweet and savory dish which I think goes best with a potatoe, rice or pasta side dish. This wild game recipe for squirrel is two thumbs up by my family's rating system!
